Weekly Visual Activity REVIVED July 10th to July 16th.

I'M ALIVE!!!!!
Sorry about that; my get up and go got up and went without me. I wandered out of funkland today just in time to be a week and a day late.
<_<

For this week, you may use any media you like - photos, sketches, paints, collage, et. al. to portray BLUE. In any sense of the word. Posting and up voting will cease when the 16th is over and done with.

If you end up with the most votes appreciating your piece(s), you will have the honour to decide the theme to the next week's thread! If that's not enough I'm sure I can find a gif of people grovelling in your magnificent wake. \o/

    I'm in the same boat. Trying to get off my ass and go out to film my next episode, which is nearly 2 months overdue. Instead I'm poking around on here. But this seems like a fun assignment, so hopefully this'll be the catalyst I needed. Does video work alright as a medium? If not, I can do photo.

    Blue - Sage Ranch Park


    I try not to focus too much on the usual interpretation of "blue" because that particular vessel tends to overflow too easily. Instead, I went on a hike in Sage Ranch to search for the more positive aspects of blue, and was not disappointed.

      I love the way you take the blue as the subject, but the back lighting makes it negative space at the same time. Beautiful.

        Thanks! I kinda rushed through it, so it's largely unpolished. But I'm fairly happy with it regardless because at the end of the day (literally), the prompt got me off my ass to go make something....

        Thanks! I kinda rushed through it, so it's largely unpolished. But I'm fairly happy with it regardless because at the end of the day (literally), the prompt got me off my ass to go make something. I'm really looking forward to the next one, and hope this becomes a regular thing because it's exactly the sort of motivation that I need from time to time.

      I'm sorry; I wasn't very clear. I am inviting people to play artistically with the colour blue, or the concept of being blue.

      You can take a picture of something blue. Or draw something that makes you feel blue. Or crochet something related to either. You can paint someone who is feeling blue. You can make a simple animation or gif about blue things. You can shoot a video of yourself cooking something blue and eating it.

      Whatever you end up doing, post it to this conversation. You can write a little about your artistic process or say nothing at all. After a week, whoever has the most votes may pick the topic for the artistic challenge next week.

        #0000ff is the web hex for blue. You might have already known that, but it seems like one of those things that's obvious to certain people and obscure to the rest so I figured I'd point it out...

      I like them all, but this one is wonderfully otherworldly. Like alien planets.

      I really like the order they're in. Especially the koi sky looking like it's draining into the glowing thing below it.

    @meristele So how's it work now? I think @userexec wins this round (tied on votes, but they reached it first). Somebody's gotta host the next thread! I need my fix!
